A pick up truck comprises a back section called a flatbed 2. Saidflatbed 2 may be covered by a covering called a tonneau. The sides ofthe pick up truck flatbed 2 contain a curved surface called a lip (7 or8). The flatbed 2 of a pick up truck usually has two humps; a right hump3 over the right tire 9 and a left hump 4 or the left tire 10. The hump(3 or 4), also called a wheel well, is a part of the flatbed 2 whereinsaid hump (3 or 4) is elevated, and usually round in shape, because thehump (3 or 4) must fit the pick up truck tire (9 or 10) which isunderneath said hump (3 or 4).

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a container 11 is added tothe flatbed 2 of a pick up truck. Said container 1 is attachable to thelip (7 or 8) of the pick up truck by having an upper protrusion portion17, of complementary shape to the lip (7 or 8), being placed under saidlip (7 or 8). Said upper protrusion portion 17 is to part of saidcontainer 11. The bottom of said container 11 also has a cavity 19,which is of complementary shape to said hump (3 or 4). In oneembodiment, said container 11 can be placed with said upper protrusionportion 17 underneath said lip (7 or 8), and with said cavity 19 overthe hump (3 or 4), such that the container 11 is securely attached tothe pick up truck. In one embodiment, the placement of said upperprotrusion portion 17 under said lip (7 or 8), as well as the placementof said cavity 19 over said hump (3 or 4), is sufficient to secure, orto substantially secure, said container 11 to the pick up truck. In oneembodiment, the container 11 does not need to be welded, glued, orotherwise permanently attached to said pick up truck, yet may still besecurely attached to said pickup truck.
